Family members and friends. Children and the elderly, rich and poor. Mental illness can affect anyone - no matter what age, sex, gender or ethnic background.

Mental illnesses are not the result of personal weakness, lack of character or poor upbringing. Mental illnesses are treatable. Most people diagnosed with a serious mental illness can experience relief from their symptoms by getting help and by learning ways to better manage their illness.
